Case Study: Shell Retail Ukraine strengthens security and uncovers critical vulnerabilities with SoftServe

Security Assessment for Shell Retail Ukraine

Shell, a global energy company, faced a significant security challenge after experiencing an incident at its retail operations in Ukraine. They partnered with the security experts at SoftServe to conduct a comprehensive Penetration Testing Audit, which included internal and external penetration testing along with social engineering attacks, to evaluate and improve their IT security posture.

SoftServe’s team of certified ethical hackers executed a black-box penetration test, following a ten-stage process based on OWASP guidelines. The assessment uncovered 40 high-severity vulnerabilities among other defects, preventing potential major financial loss. SoftServe provided far-reaching mitigation strategies for the infrastructure and employee training, a solution that led Shell Retail Ukraine to confidently continue its collaboration with the vendor.
